Make ‘Em Pretty!!!!

I’m not going to “talk” too much … I’m going to let the results do the tawking! 😀

They started out looking like this:

Cute, but not amazing.

Ready for baking …

All done and air-dried!!!!

Ready for use and as cute as a button.  😛 

 This was my first time using polymer clay and making handles for my hooks.  I used this tutorial and couldn’t be more happy with the results.  😀  I’m still tossing up if I should glaze them or not. 💡

I should hook a carrying case for them.  Hmmm …

The handles will help to alleviate the hand cramp I’ve been told is attributed to the early development of arthritis (but I’m refusing to accept that).

Aren’t they pretty?!!!!!! 😀

ETA: It’s Friday … I didn’t make anything new this week, but go over to Tami’s to see who’s finished new stuff!!!  You know you want to  😛

WIP Hiccup

So … what had happened was … after I came back from my vacation last Thursday, I cut my right index finger.  I mean really bad.  I went back and forth on if I should post what the cut look like but I didn’t think I should gross anyone out.  😛

That means that my Dolores Park cowl is still at the point it was last week and the crochet blanket I wanted to start for my cousin who’s having a baby in April will have to wait until my cut gets better in another week or two.  Yep, that’s how deep the cut is.  😦

So … I know it sucks … but here’s Dolores in her “same as last week WIP” state.  😀

and the pattern photo of the blanket I want to try.

It seems easy enough for a crochet newbie like me.  Although the stitch pattern is not actually a beginner one, I like a challenge.

Pop over to Tami’s to see the other WIP Wednesday projects.  There’s never a lack of inspiration — knit or crochet.Â
